The contractors will win holding it over the mens head like a carrot. and Mike will be smelling like a rose saying it wasnt my doing you the members voted on it!<br /> <br />As stated in the 157 blogspot "Mr. DeLollis (executive director of the Association of Wall-Ceiling and Carpentry Industries) said he believed there was a 50-50 chance the contracts would pass. He said contractors would step up efforts to educate employees on the deals and why they should be approved." TRANSLATION: We'll tell you how to vote and maybe keep you working, you'll vote FULL MOBILITY or look elsewhere for work!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-50253364963453797932012-02-09T21:31:50.451-05:002012-02-09T21:31:50.451-05:00"EST Bilello, Daniel Massey is calling from C..."EST Bilello, Daniel Massey is calling from Crain's; will you take the call?"<br /><br />Remember... in the not to faraway past... when President Lebo lost his mind over a story published by Crain's, in which details about a delegate meeting were reported?<br /><br />Lebo must reealllyy be mad now, with the highest office at the District Council succumbing to the lure of bright lights, big media.

Now the membership will pay out a huge sum to American Arbitration for a vote on fatally flawed contracts negotiated by Spencer-McCarron, and possibly, out of frustration, apathy, and cynicism, ratify them. Is Bilello kicking it down to the rank-and-file because he can do no better and is afraid of calling for a strike? The Rank and File Team ran on a platform against Full Mobility, but they just served it to the membership, like steaming dog feces on a silver platter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-50869780635070630932012-02-09T17:25:46.565-05:002012-02-09T17:25:46.565-05:00DROP DEAD UNITY TEAM !DROP DEAD UNITY TEAM !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-81898703682225354522012-02-09T17:20:57.080-05:002012-02-09T17:20:57.080-05:00we only have 22,000 members not 25,000. 15,000 act...we only have 22,000 members not 25,000. 15,000 active and 7000 retired members.davenportnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-81526281283325406382012-02-09T17:16:31.162-05:002012-02-09T17:16:31.162-05:00A well deserved Vote which is long overdue and whi...A well deserved Vote which is long overdue and which is required by the NLRA Sect. 7 and free association rights.<br /><br />The Preamble to the NLRA best explains this delicate balance and the evening of the playing field relative to Contract Negotiations for Wages, Hours, Terms & Conditions of Employment.<br /><br />The rank & file members predict that the MOU's negotiated by McCarron & Spencer will go down in flames, resulting in their having to actually sit down and bargain the right way.<br /><br />Contractors and their Associations and Doug McCarron fear that the most. No doubt Contractors will continue their in-house brainwashing of Company men and other scare tactics & intimidation techniques which they have long perfected.<br /><br />TIME FOR THE RANK & FILE to STEP UP and to VOTE NO on every contract proposed to date.<br /><br />Hey Doug, how do you like us now?....yeah, yeah we know, I hate that guy....right back at ya!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
